Chapter 139: The Smoke Rises
Wu Yan rubbed his eyes and raised his head, his sleepy eyes were hazy, the house was already lit with candles, and Dongfang Priest was shaking his body, "What's the matter, are you going to eat?"
Dongfang Sacrifice was speechless, at the end of this day, Wu Gen had already eaten six meals, and he was still a little dissatisfied. Wu Gen had already mastered the basic rules of war chess, and he wanted to have a deduction with him, but as soon as the night fell, Wu Gen yawned and was sleepy, and finally fell asleep on the table.
Luo Bing gave a death order, and he must take Wu Qian to the church within a day, otherwise with his personality, he may really have to guard the mountain gate and repair the mountain road.
"Hold on to it again, wait for me to play a game with you, and then fall asleep after I am familiar with the use of war chess." Dongfang Priest persuaded softly, for fear that the lord would run away with a pick. It's the other way around, and the chess teacher begs to be taught, what is this?
Wu Yan yawned and stretched, "Forget it, I already know a thing or two about chess, and practicing again can only be in vain, it's better to rest and rest, and have the spirit to fight tomorrow." As he spoke, he got up and was about to go outside.
Dongfang Priest and the two cultivators hurriedly stopped the master, "If you don't enter it once, you have to fight, isn't it a little hasty, you might as well familiarize yourself with it."
Wu Yan sighed, "I can't hide it from you, I'm tired as soon as the night falls, it's really useless to consume it like this, I have my own way of dealing with it tomorrow." Thank you for your hard work, and take your leave." After that, he walked away.
Dongfang Priest and the two teachers glanced at each other, but they were helpless, so they had to brush their sleeves and leave.
The next day, Luo Bing took Wu Gen and Xiahou Zhong to Shaoyang Courtyard again, and Nangong Ping was already waiting outside the mountain gate. The two of them laughed and arrived at the Shaoyang Courtyard.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Wu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and the place where the game was played here was placed in the square in front of his main hall. The square is quite spacious, and it is not a problem to accommodate 1,000 people, but at this time, the inner and outer three floors are already crowded with people watching the battle.
Seeing Wu Gan coming, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and there were constantly boos.
When we reached the center of the square, there was a platform with a huge chessboard on it. There is a formation around it, as soon as you enter it, the noise outside is isolated, so as not to affect the two sides of the game.
Wu Yan looked curiously on tiptoe, not knowing who the Shaoyang Academy had sent to fight. Just as he was probing his head, cheers rang out in the field, the flow of people separated, and a young man with a sharp beak and a very thin body walked from the field.
Wu Yan couldn't help but be stunned, this person had already met once, what was Hu Jialai. When I first arrived in Katsuyama that day, the first person I met was this person, and it seemed that he was his opponent today, and it was really fateful.
Hu Jia walked up to Wu Jian and gave a deep salute, "Hello Senior Brother Wu, it is really an honor to be able to play against Senior Brother today, and I hope to give you advice."
Wu Yan patted his shoulder with a big grin, "It's easy to say, I said goodbye in a hurry that day, I didn't expect to see you here again today, but for the brother, I want to learn the methods of the junior brother." With some strength in his hands, he looked at each other with a smile.
Hu Jia's face changed slightly, his body twisted, and he escaped from Wu Gan's claws, with anger hidden in his eyes, "Today, you and I represent the two houses, and the personal friendship is put aside for the time being, please don't leave your hands behind. Senior brother, why don't we two take the stage?"
"Please." Wu Yan waved his hand.
"Senior brother, please." Hu Jia also made a gesture of please.
"This is the junior brother's field, how dare you trespass for the brother, junior brother, please."
「......」
Seeing that the two were competing with each other and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, Nangong Ping had no choice but to open his mouth and let the two appear at the same time, while he and Luo Bing sat not far away to watch the battle. Xiahou Zhong was as rigorous as ever, walked to the front of the stage in person, and carefully checked it in case the other party did anything.
Nangong Ping glanced at Luo Bing, "Master Luo, let's start?"
Luo Bing lay on the chair without any image, "Whatever." cao
A bell rings, and the battle begins.
Wu Jian stared at Hu Jia opposite, "Senior brother, in today's battle, those who are brothers will not spare their hands."
Hu Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Senior brother, junior brother won't release water."
Wu Yan slapped the chessboard and scared the other party backwards, big
He said, "Senior brother, don't do what you can when you can't hold on, so as not to hurt your body."
Hu Jia was a little annoyed, this Wu Jian was shocked, the key was that his ugly appearance was looked at by his peers outside the court, and he inevitably fell into the handle, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Senior brother, don't let this kind of trick disturb people's minds, let's start quickly, we will finally see the real chapter in the chess field."
Wu Yan was exposed by the other party, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's start."
The two of them put their hands on the chessboard, their eyes slightly closed, and their minds gradually focused.
In the distance, Nangong Ping glanced at Luo Bing slightly from the corner of his eye, feeling a little proud in his heart. I knew that this person was worried about losing the mountain gate, and he had been planning for a long time, so he really thought that the sudden proposal of the war chess game was a temporary idea?
Although Hu Jia is also a newly admitted student, he was born in Songtao Academy, where he is known for his strategy. Although strategy is different from warfare, the practice is to prepare for the curtain.
I worked hard to dig Hu Jia from Chongzhi Courtyard for today. Playing with the heart eye, you Luo Bing is still far away, and when you see the end, do you still have the face to shout and make a fortune on Geshan.
Wu Gen followed the instructions of the Oriental Sacrifice, and his mind slowly sank into the chessboard. Suddenly, Hu Jia was no longer visible. He seems to be sitting on the sky, with a chessboard in front of him, and mountains and rivers below, and the city is fertile and wild. On the chessboard, you can only see your own side, and your opponent is hidden in the clouds.
After observing the surroundings, Wu Gan dropped the first chess piece. The chess pieces fell, and a team of elephant fighters appeared on the field. The next one, another team of rune soldiers appeared.
Wu Gen fell in turn, and a large army gradually appeared. With the increase in chess pieces, Wu Jian also found that it is not that the more soldiers, the better.
The larger the number of troops, the heavier the burden on logistics, the more difficult it is to supply the rear, and the war will not last.
This war chess is really amazing, it seems that the two of them are talking about it, but in fact, they need to have a gap in their minds, and they need to plan everything, and it is the ability to coordinate the overall situation and strategize.
According to what you learned in Dafeng Village, when you go out to rob, you need to first find out the terrain, roads, dangerous places, and dangerous passes of the place where you are doing, and find out the number, goods, and guards of the robbed.
While purging the army, Wu Gen sent a large number of scouts and dead soldiers to investigate the movements of Hu Jia's side.
Looking at the steady stream of information fed back, Wu Yan couldn't help frowning a little.
Hu Jia set up his troops in a formation, the formation was tight, the needles were hidden in the cotton, and the end was linked, and he was fighting a dignified battle, which was quite difficult for this kind of opponent. It's like gnawing on a well-defended dock fort, with strong walls everywhere, and there is really nowhere to put your mouth.
It can be seen from this person's shot that Hu Jia is by no means a temporary product like himself, and he must have some ability.
On the other side, Hu Jia is also dispatching troops, and before he came, Nangong Ping, the head of the courtyard, had already confessed that Wu Gan had a good temperament and had a lot of means, as long as he fought steadily, fought dumbly, fought to the death, did not show flaws, and used his strength to establish an advantage little by little, he could accumulate into a winning momentum, and he would definitely be able to take it down.
Wu Gen frowned, if he wants to defeat such an opponent, in addition to multi-temple calculations, he must come up with strange plans, fight tricks, and have a chance to win in the middle of the battle.
After some reconnaissance, Wu Jian found that although the other party had strong troops, close contact with each other, and exquisite coordination of troops, the head and tail should respond, and the tail should be the first to respond, but the overall action was relatively slow.
After pondering for a moment, gathering the Vigilantes who had been scattered among the various armies, and placing the Ulcer Doctors, who had been used to treat the wounded, were among the Vigilantes, he was tantamount to completely abandoning his own protection of the ground forces.
The main soldier moves away from the opponent's main battle legion to avoid its edge.
After some operation, Wu Gan's front was empty, and he actually gave up half of the country. If the other party enters from this, it can almost be pushed all the way without any resistance.
This move is quite risky, and in the end, it is still the nature of a bandit. If it is not operated properly, a large area of the country will be lost, the strategic space will be compressed, and the follow-up supply will be in difficulty, and it is easy to fall into the situation of losing people and losing people.
The Righteous Eagles were the first to move, taking advantage of the convenience of their rapid movements, and quickly pounced on Hu Jia. When it was about to meet the enemy, it avoided its main defensive direction, made a large circle, broke through the opponent's scattered air defenses, and flew towards the depth of the country.
Hu Jia deployed his troops and held on to the main cities and passes, and the rear troops were constantly in front. Looking at the impregnable line, even if Wu Gen took the lead in attacking, he had the strength to quickly pull back.
Songtao Xuegong studied the art of vertical and horizontal, although Hu Jia was poor in temporary scheduling, but he was familiar with the national economy and people's livelihood and the general trend, but the geography of mountains and rivers was familiar.
In a dignified battle, Hu Jia is confident that he will eat away at his opponent little by little with his unrevealing operation. Fang Cai, through reconnaissance, also found that Wu Gan's army avoided the direction of its main battle and made a detour.
Hu Jia laughed secretly in his heart, how could it be so easy to hit his flank. There are few soldiers on the flanks, but there are many dangerous cities to rely on, and they still have a reserve team, which is enough to support their main force to capture the opponent's city and return to help after destroying the country.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the other party's army appear. Hu Jia was a little puzzled, even if he marched slowly, it was said that the two sides should have made contact, but there was silence on the battlefield. Except for some of the scouts who failed to return, there were no major losses. This kind of loss was almost insignificant for the operation of the army, and Hu Jia did not take it seriously.
When he was hesitating, there was a sudden commotion in the rear, and his baggage team and grain production area were attacked by the other party.
Attacking him were the overwhelming Vigilantules, who were quick to move and did not aim to kill or inflict their own military supplies. What's even worse is that the Righteous Hurds were also mixed with medics, who threw poison everywhere they went, destroying water sources and grains.
Seeing the chaos in the rear, Hu Jia strengthened his defenses on the one hand, and organized his own volunteers to search for the enemy on the other.
It's just that Wu Gan's righteous eagle soldiers generally run when they are defeated, and they run if they can't be beaten, and they never love to fight. Hu Jia had to disperse the Vigilantes and expand the search area in order to find their opponents earlier.
Taking advantage of air superiority, Wu Gen keenly discovered the opponent's movements. I can't help but rejoice in my heart, how can such a good opportunity be wasted.
Hu Jia's relatively scattered air forces, when they encountered the Shui Yunsheng Righteous Eagles, were divided and encircled. Although both sides suffered losses, on the whole, under the blow of Wu Gan's relatively superior forces, a small victory accumulated into a big victory, and Hu Jia's Yihu troops were rapidly reduced.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Hu Jia hurriedly gathered the remaining Yihu soldiers, joined the forces of the brigade on the ground, and placed them under the protection of the arrows on the ground. However, the use of the Righteous Hurdles in this way not only lost the advantage of mobility and could not cover the ground forces, but instead needed the ground to provide protection, and in fact became a waste of chess.
Despite this, Hu Jia was not too worried, although the other party's Yihu soldiers acted quickly and caused a lot of trouble, it was only trouble. Its momentum is like a long sword, sharp and sharp, but not fatal. Unable to occupy the opponent's city and seize strategic resources, it can only play the role of harassment and containment.
endured the harassment of the other party like flies and mosquitoes, and was ruthless in his heart, and organized an army to march towards the other party's city. As long as they occupy the territory of the other party, these righteous eagle soldiers will become a source of water, and sooner or later they will have to be consumed to death.
